NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.
ENCORE I ENCORE !!

You responded withsuch ap-
plause, and cash promptness to
our lastweek's Cotton Sheeting
Symphony and Calico Recital,
that we are moved to offer as an
encore, a simple Parasol Ballad.
We learn from the talented
Miss Minerva Sophomore, of
Vassar, that "ParasoP' comes
from two French and Latin
words "Paysy," to ward off, and
'Soh" sun, hence "ParasoP' to
keep off the sun.
CThe use of the Parasol to ward off other OBJ
lects, such as a venemous cow, meddlsome
uog, or poor but persistent admirer, Is pro
moited by no organic nor statute law, although
what the foolishness of modern legislatures
may tempt them to enact, passes all earthly
comprehension.)
We kept over from last
season about o5 Parasols, for
no reason exceptthatwe bought
heavily, and like many another
hadn't sense enough to stop
buying when we had enough.
Now a last years Parasol,
like a last years husband or
baby, is just asogood this year
as last; yes, better, because
more mature.
These are all good and true,
and most of them black.
(Referring now to the Parasols, not the hus.
bands and babies.)
We wish to start the Parasol
season with a new, fresh stock;
SO have placed these o5 last
years Parasols on the middle
counter, they will be sold
at exactly alfprice.
Chose who are familiar with our methods
need not be told that half price with us means
gust thai, and not 10 per cent more than the
usual price)
They are marked in plain
figures-our last years price.
You select the Parasol that
pleases you, pay just one-half
the price marked on the tag,
and the Parasol is yours, to
keep off the sun or the other
objects aforesaid, or to flirt
with, or bail a boat.
The Cotton Sale still con-
tinues.

The Western Union TeIeerann

Company have begun upon some extensive
improvements to their lines in this State. A
new copper wire has been strung from Port
land to ST. John, N. B., for through bust
ness, and one or two wires will probably be
strung from Portland to Bangor during the
summer. Fifteen thousand telegraph poles
have been contracted for at a cost of about
$1.75 each, of which number about eight
thousand will be used between Belgrade and
Vanceboro, where the present poles have
proved to be incapable of sustaining their
heavy burden of wires Altogether about
$4,000 will be expended in this State this
season by the company in improvements.

We have manufactured a
large lot of these fine goods
and we propose to offer them
to our patrons and close out
the entire lot by MayI.
We have every reason to be-
lieve they are the best suits
we have ever seen for these
reasons:
Ist. The goods are the best
quality "Middlesex," full In
digo and warranted absolute
~ fast colors. Many who are
not familiar with the various
grades Of Blue Flannels have
an idea that all "MiddIesex"
goods are the same. Such Is
not the case however. There
are different weights, differ
ent grades, different shades,
and different costs, for the
different qualities. Our" Mid
dIesex" suits are made from
the best flannel produced by
that celebrated mill.
I'd. The goods being a lit
tie heavier than most makes
are firmer, hold their shape
better, fit better and wear
longer.
Sd. They are made from the
very finest stock and are
guaranteed free from all cot
ton and shoddy mixtures.
4th. They are thoroughly
well made and trimmed and
are equal In every respect to
suits that retail for SIS and
@Ie.

To the Editor of the Press:
Apropos the communications in the PRESS

system by our cities and large villages, many
a poor lighthouse keeper on the, coast, who
also has a steal fog-signal to look after, has
frequently in snowy and foggy weather been
grossly deceived-had his hope deferred by
what he mistook for break in the sky-a
glim in the north which only turned out to
be the electric lights of some city, shown by
atmospheric refraction The apparent CLEAN
in the horizon has proved a delusion
and a snare to the extent that it forbode a
continuance of thick weather and therefore
more labor for the light.keeper-more music
by the fog horn. Having learned wisdom
by experience, fog whistle tenders near
Portland have adopeed the following rhyth-
mical wise-saws
When Portland lights to brightly glow,
Look out for fog, or rain, or snow;
But when the lights can not be seen
There'll be no fog; no use for steam,
